I was wondering if anyone has compiled a list of movements and the best positions to rest the watch to advance of retard the speed. My Railmaster runs about 6 seconds slow per 24 hours and I wanted to know how I should lay the watch while I'm sleeping to help the watch run a little fast to make up for the lost seconds.

Is this different for each specific watch or are there typical positions for individual movements?

 

If you are laying it horizontal when it’s unworn, you probably won’t be able to speed it up much more. You could try dial down. Why not test different positions using a smartphone app.

 

Every watch is different. As Dan said, get an app to determine rate in each position. Out of curiosity, is your Railmaster vintage or the newer version?

 

Every watch is different...

 

Wrong.

The answer you were looking for is “it depends...”.

 

Part of the whole watch fun thing for me was putting together my own chart of what position did what. Every watch is different don't you know.

I've tried multiple positions but find missionary to be the easiest.
